Slow with unlikable characters and no real plot to keep interested
parleek's review against another edition
I don’t even know what to do with this book. I was intrigued by the description but the style left me cold. It feels neither plot nor character driven: it’s very character focused but the characters are almost cartoonish. I picked away at this over weeks and finally just flipped to the end and read the last few pages. A book I like the idea of while not actually liking.

Started well and I liked the two characters when they were first introduced but lost interest in their two separate stories. I enjoyed the old fashioned but funny and witty writing style.

i don’t really care about the characters. the prose and dialogue is quite hard to read since it’s 80 years old. i thought it’d be more of a romp and rich women rebelling and doing fun stuff. it was just repressed women not doing anything.

Miss Goering and Mrs Copperfield meet at a party, go their separate ways, have various strange little adventures and meet again quite changed from how they'd been originally.
Well, how do I describe this book? It's different. It's a little odd. It's quirky. I did enjoy it, though. According to the preface there was to be another Serious Lady but she didn't get written in, however a small excerpt of what was to be in the book gives a tantalising look at her and I do wish she had been finished, she was a very distracted lady apparently.
